This is how the evening parade started. All the cuties were lined up in a row waiting for Mr. & Mrs. Claus to appear on the parade route. Little did we know that they would be the last float...about an hour later.
Jackson spent half of his time with Melody (she took our fantastic pictures a while back). He loved sitting on her lap and thankfully Melody's daughter, Vienne didn't mind sharing her mommy.
Pryia loved playing with Harrison. He was happy or asleep until the "incident" happened.
What a cutie and look at those blue eyes!
Devan and Jackson looking towards the parade, wondering, "Where is Santa???"Once the Boerne parade was over, we made it to the Gazebo to get our pictures done. It was a beautiful setting; there was a rock garden, strolling little river and bridges over the man made water features. Jackson was warned by his dad and I that he needed to be careful or he might fall in the water. And yes, he did fall in. Of course, this was in complete view of the forty plus people in line to see Santa. And man, can this 3 year old scream. He caused quite a stir as he shrieked in shock! Everyone was looking at us as we stripped him down to his tidy whitties. Harrison who asleep in the sling had to be jostled awake and thrown into Animesh's arms so that we could attend to Jackson's emergency.
We insisted that we had to leave and go to the car. This caused even more crying because he wanted to see Santa so bad. Now, he was cold, wet, tired, naked and longing to see Santa. But wait, our first Christmas miracle of the season happened.
We ran smack dab into Mr. and Mrs. Claus (and an elf) on our way to the car. Thus, the naked Santa picture.

What a fantastically happy ending. Poor little guy was doing to well all evening. Undeserved karma I say.
And people don't believe in Santa Claus . . . ugh. Great story and pics!
That is so funny. Honestly, did you (after you knew he was safe, of course) giggle a little at his fall in the water??? That kid is something else. Makes me wish I knew you when you were that age.
